Back with more questions

On the rear door, the front inside edge is a double lip.. How do you wrap the corner without ending up with a lot of bunched up vinyl? It was ripping so I had to cut it out and patch it. Not too visible since it's an inside edge but I'd like to do it right on the driver side.

Also, sneak peek

A good cold stretch or heat stretch should get you to go around that and lay down no problem.

After months of hibernating, and the blower motor recall finally fixed, she's back on the road again. Here she is out in the wild with her brand new wrap. The final finished product! Satin chrome matte dark blue, roof and window trim wrapped gloss black.

Never liked matte wraps, they look like primer, especially on some mass produced sedan. But as learning experience its nice, you can really learn to do it proper and realize why people pay for this job.

In the beginning I didn't like them myself either. It just grew on me little by little.

Looks freakin' SWEET! Love the Matte look especially i think it's the frozen Bronze that BMW has. Love the effort, patience and dedication you put in. I appreciate the hardwork that you put into this. Knowing you fid it yourself makes that appreciation that much more

Thanks bro. I appreciate the kind words. If you were close to where I am. I would talk you Into doing yours and be more than willing to lend a helping hand. Or even do the whole car, for you. I'm about to peel off all of the matte black off my f10 and wrap that again. Pics and videos coming soon! ?

Got tired of the matter black and decided to switch it up again. Lol. Been in love with the Minnesota Vikings helmet color. Found something pretty close. Satin chrome matte dark purple. Did the window trims and roof in gloss carbon fiber. Hope you guys enjoy!

This. Is. Awesome!

I want to wrap my roof panel black one of these days.

I really like matte gray for the whole car.

I order from China so I'm only spending around 200-300. THe ones from China works just as great as the name brand ones here. Quite frankly I think it's the same, just without a name brand printed on them. Everything comes from China nowadays. Lol. I say I'm gonna stick with a color for awhile, but I haven't had one for a full year yet. Lol. It's cheap for me cause my labor is free.
